Safety
Safe
Operation Practices for
Ride-on (riding) Rotary
Lawnmower Machines
This machine meets or exceeds European
Standards in effect at the time of production.
However, improper use or maintenance by the
operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce
the potential for injury, comply with these safety
instructions and always pay attention to the safety
alert
symbol, which means CAUTION,
WARNING, or DANGER—“personal safety
instruction.” Failure to comply with the
instruction may result in personal injury or death.
Safe
Operating Practices
The following instructions are from the CEN standard
EN 836:1997.
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet
and throwing objects. Always follow all safety
instructions to avoid serious injury or death.
Training
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local
regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
Never mow while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to
other people or their property.
Do not carry passengers.
All drivers should seek and obtain professional
and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines;
control of a ride-on machine sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the application
of the brake. The main reasons for loss of
control are:
insufficient wheel grip;
being driven too fast;
inadequate braking;
the type of machine is unsuitable for
its task;
lack of awareness of the effect of
ground conditions, especially slopes;
incorrect hitching and load
distribution.
Preparation
While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the
equipment when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all objects
which may be thrown by the machine.
WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable.
Store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose.
Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refuelling.
Safety
4
Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add
petrol while the engine is running or when
the engine is hot.
If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start
the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating
any source of ignition until petrol vapors
have dissipated.
Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
Replace faulty silencers.
Before using, always visually inspect to see that
the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are
not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged
blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
Operation
Do not operate the engine in a confined space
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect.
Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
Before attempting to start the engine, disengage
all blade attachment clutches and shift into
neutral.
Do not use on slopes of more than
5_ when mowing on side hills;
10_ when mowing uphill;
15_ when mowing downhill.
Remember there is no such thing as a “safe”
slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular
care. To guard against overturning:
do not stop or start suddenly when going up
or downhill;
engage clutch slowly, always keep machine
in gear, especially when travelling
downhill;
machine speeds should be kept low on
slopes and during tight turns;
stay alert for humps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
never mow across the face of the slope;
Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
Limit loads to those you can safely control.
Do not turn sharply. Use care when
reversing.
Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights
when suggested in the instruction
handbook.
Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.
Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces
other than grass.
When using any attachments, never direct
discharge of material toward bystanders nor
allow anyone near the machine while in
operation.
Never operate the machine with defective guards
or without safety protective devices in place.
Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speed can increase the hazard of
personal injury.
Before leaving the operator
s position:
disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments;
change into neutral and set the parking
brake;
Safety
5
stop the engine and remove the key.
Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine,
and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove
the ignition key
before clearing blockages or unclogging
chute;
before checking, cleaning or working on the
lawnmower;
after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
lawnmower for damage and make repairs
before restarting and operating the
equipment;
if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally
(check immediately).
Disengage drive to attachments when
transporting or not in use.
Stop the engine and disengage drive to
attachment
before refuelling;
before removing the grass catcher;
before making height adjustment unless
adjustment can be made from the operators
position.
Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out
and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off
valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of
mowing.
Maintenance and Storage
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank
inside a building where fumes can reach an open
flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage
area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors.
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
When machine is to be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless a
positive mechanical lock is used.

Petrol and Oil
Recommended
Petrol
Use UNLEADED Regular Petrol suitable for
automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded
regular petrol may be used if unleaded regular is not
available.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, petrol
containing methanol, or gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol because the fuel
system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions petrol is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from petrol can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
gasoline that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add petrol to the fuel tank until the level is
1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows petrol to expand.
Never smoke when handling petrol, and
stay away from an open flame or where
petrol fumes may be ignited by a spark.
Store petrol in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Never
buy more than a 30-day supply of petrol.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions petrol is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from petrol can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
Always place petrol containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
Do not fill petrol containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may
insulate the container and slow the loss of
any static charge.
When practical, remove petrol–powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
Gasoline and Oil
13
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Petrol is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long–term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer to laboratory animals.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Failure to use caution may result in serious
injury or illness
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
Keep face away from nozzle and petrol
tank or conditioner opening.
Keep petrol away from eyes and skin.
Using
Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to
provide the following benefits:
Keeps petrol fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. For longer storage it is recommended that
the fuel tank be drained.
Cleans the engine while it runs
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of petrol
stabilizer/conditioner to the gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh petrol.
To minimize the chance of varnish
deposits in the fuel system, use fuel
stabilizer at all times.
Filling
the Fuel T
ank
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel
tanks, until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to
13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This
space in the tank allows petrol to expand. Do not
fill the fuel tanks completely full.
3. Install fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any
petrol that may have spilled.
Check
Engine Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine,
check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Checking Oil Level, page 44.
